Seriously.

What is there to say?

Us time.

Happy Wednesday!

Jealous.

I'm admitting it.

I'm totally jealous of so many of my friends who currently have the time to do things like blog, go to the pool, get a tan, shop, or just plain hang out. The only way I'm able to post this right now is because I'm holding baby girl while she drifts off to sleep with her bottle in her mouth. (Don't judge me. I need my sanity.) And this amazing invention called the iPhone is small enough for me to hold and type with one hand. It's the only way I've stayed connected to the outside world.

For those who know me, you know I don't sit well. I'm definitely an on-the-go girl. I even have a complex about going to the movie theater because I know I'm going to be stuck in one place for two hours. Weird, I know.

And I know this phase will pass. It will. I'm doing my best not to rush it.

On a side note, I'm sure none of this is even flowing together because since I've began this post I've been interrupted with, "I want to look at the book!" "Jacob got those out!" "Where's my blanket?!" "Go to your room!" "Waaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" "Stop!" "Don't!" "Waaaaaaahhhhhhh!" And of course, a now eyes-wide-open baby girl.

And the cycle starts all over again.

Stay tuned for the next episode of "Crystal Goes Insane".

Happy Father's Day!

What a mix of expressions.

LOVE her in yellow!

here are baby girl's two-month stats:

• 10 pounds 10 ounces
• 22.5 inches long
• still has those blue eyes
• pretty much sleeping through the night (most nights she sleeps from 9 pm to 5 or 6 am)
• hardly ever naps during the day
• still eats 3 ounces at a time
• smiles (at momma the most)
• tries to laugh
• loves when her brothers sing to her
• calmed by bathtime and her changing table
• has her bedtime routine down
• is no longer wearing newborn clothes

momma loves you, baby girl!
